Backrest Vibration
DUCT TAPE a 4" piece across the lips will solve the problem ;)
Seriously, no complaints from the spouse.

Backrest Vibration
The PO's wife said it bothered her but my wife said she's never noticed it. I've reached back and felt it when solo and there is some vibration there but I don't feel it anywhere else and have not thought much more about it. Don't recall it being mentioned by others here.

Backrest Vibration
I haven't asked my wife about this, nor has she said anything, but I will ask. However, I feel vibration through my backrest on a Corbin seat. I think it's from the road as it changes with different surfaces.

Point out that people pay hundreds of dollars for those fancy leather massage chairs, and she gets it for free on the bike.
I did like the duct tape suggestion, though.
